Poem in Your Pocket day

Here is the poem I'm carrying in my pocket today:

By George MacDonald
1824-1905

I said "Let me walk in the fields."

He said "Nay, walk in town."

I said "there are no flowers there."

He said "no flowers but a crown."

I said "But the skies are black;

there is nothing but noise and din."

And he wept as he sent me back-

"There is more," He said; "There is sin."

I said "But the air is thick,

 And fogs are veiling the sun."

He answered "Yet souls are sick, 

And souls in the dark undone!"

I said "I shall miss the light,

And friends will miss me, they say."

He answered 'Choose tonight

If I am to miss you or they."

I pleaded for time to be given.

He said "is it hard to decide?

It will not seem hard in heaven 

To have followed the steps of your guide."

I cast one look at the fields,

Then set my face to town;

He said "my child do you yield?

Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"

Then into his hand went mine;

And into my heart came he:

And I walk in a light divine,

The path I had feared to see. 

I took a poetry class once and we all had to memorize a poem: this is the one I chose to memorize. I really like it. 

Hug and Australian day

I ACTUALLY found an Australian to hug! She's the mother of one of the students in my ballet class. She's not full Australian but she does have some Australian in her... and that's all that matters. Yesterday was Hug a plummer day and I wasn't able to find a plummer to hug. I thought the plummer one would be easier!
Sorry for the quality of the picture. It was taken on my mom's phone.
